English Quest

Your students know English.
So why do they hesitate to speak it?

You're not alone. It's the same story in classrooms and offices everywhere: people can read and write English just fine, then freeze the moment they have to speak up in a meeting or an interview. We fix that, with classroom training, teacher coaching, and workplace programs that fit into the schedule you already have.

The Problem

Training that actually works.

Most training programs look great on paper, then fall flat in practice.

Generic slides, no impact

Learners sit through generic content, tick the boxes, and walk away no more equipped than when they arrived.

Investment with little return

Partners invest time and budget into training, and see little to show for it in real performance change.

Skills that don't transfer

Training that feels disconnected from the real job, so nothing changes once learners get back to their desks.

Our Approach

A team that stays invested after the contract is signed

Working with English Quest means gaining people who care about your learners' outcomes as much as you do. Here's how every partnership actually works.

01

We understand first

Before we design anything, we take the time to deeply understand your learner profile and your goals. We don't assume we know your context. We learn it.

Who are your learners: their backgrounds, current skill levels, and aspirations

What outcomes matter most to your organisation

What's working, what isn't, and where the real gaps are

The constraints: timelines, team size, delivery format

02

Custom-built for your context

We customise every program to your specific context and requirements. No off-the-shelf courses, no recycled decks. Every session is designed for your learners.

Role-aligned content

Training mapped to what your learners actually do, not generic examples from another industry.

Practical by design

Real scenarios, real tools, real decisions. Every session is built around application.

Outcome-first structure

Every module is anchored to a measurable outcome, not a topic to be covered.

03

Tracked, measured, refined

We track progress, gather feedback, and refine as we go. Training doesn't end when the session does. We keep iterating until the results are clear.

1

Progress tracking

We monitor learner progress throughout the program, not just at the end.

2

Continuous feedback

Feedback from learners, trainers, and stakeholders shapes what comes next.

3

Real-time refinement

We adjust content, pace, and approach based on what the data tells us.

04

Our trainers: where the magic happens

A program is only as good as the person delivering it. That's why we are obsessive about who we bring into the English Quest trainer network. Every trainer is a carefully selected industry professional: someone who has lived and breathed the work they teach.

Engaging and energetic

Sessions that are impossible to tune out. Participation is the norm, not the exception.

Application focus

A relentless focus on application, not just information. Every session delivers impact.

Honest feedback

Constructive, direct feedback that accelerates growth, not generic encouragement.

Industry professionals

People who've lived and breathed the work they teach, not career trainers.

Why English Quest Exists

We are English Quest: bridging worlds, building futures.

We are a UK-India based training and talent development company on a mission to make world-class, practical learning accessible to every learner, regardless of where they are in the world.

We started English Quest because there's a real gap between what school and university teach and what employers actually expect. We help learners in fast-growing markets close that gap and meet the standards global employers are looking for.

Training is only worth something if it changes what someone can do afterwards. That's the bar we hold ourselves to.

Our Journey

Built by people who understand both worlds

Founded in 2020 by two leaders who saw that millions of capable learners were failing at the last hurdle: communicating confidently in interviews and workplaces.

Our Mission

Make world-class English training accessible, wherever a learner starts

We exist because too many capable people, students and professionals alike, get stuck at the last hurdle: speaking English with confidence in the moments that matter most. Our mission is to close that gap, with training that's practical enough to actually change what someone can do the next day.

Our Values

We stay until it works

We don't disappear after delivery. We track outcomes and come back if something isn't landing.

We build for the specific room

No off-the-shelf courses. Every programme is shaped around the people actually in it.

We tell you the truth

If a programme isn't the right fit, we'll say so, rather than sell it anyway.

For Schools

Do your students understand English, but hesitate to speak it?

You're not alone. Most schools deal with the same thing. EQ Premier helps students build the confidence to speak up, through classroom lessons, teacher training, and ongoing support that fits into the timetable you already run.

Available from 2027 | Rs. 1,500 per student/year + GST

The Problem

You know the reality. We do too.

Students pass English exams but cannot speak spontaneously or with confidence. The gap between exam scores and real-world ability is wide, and it hurts them in interviews and beyond.

English teachers are unsupported and undertrained for spoken English delivery. They know the grammar, but they haven't been trained in how to build speaking confidence in students.

Parents want results but have no visibility into their child's progress. Without visible evidence, confidence in the school's English programme erodes.

EQ Premier 2027 is designed to fix all three, at whole-school scale.

EQ Premier 2027

Four pillars of whole-school transformation

Pillar 1

A new curriculum

A new international curriculum backed by the best evidence on boosting English confidence and fluency. Focused on spontaneous speaking, not grammar drills. Built from 40,000+ student interactions and 1,000+ teacher sessions. This isn't a textbook update. It's a fundamentally different approach to teaching English.

Pillar 2

Monthly classes with outside faculty

Monthly student sessions led by the EQ team, focused on speaking practice. Monthly real-life speaking activities that get students using English in genuine situations. Masterclasses with outside faculty expose students to voices and perspectives beyond their regular teachers.

Pillar 3

More training for your teachers

Year-round training for ALL teachers, not just English teachers. Special sessions on creating an English-speaking culture across the entire school. Unlimited training with extra EQ visits whenever the school needs it. We don't disappear after the initial workshop.

Pillar 4

Events and parent marketing support

Videos of students speaking, produced as films for parents, giving tangible evidence of progress. An annual English Quest school event that celebrates achievement. An exclusive video message from the UK CEO. Parents see the transformation. Schools get the credit.

Track Record

Built on real experience, not theory

EQ Premier is not a new experiment. It's built on years of working with schools, students, and teachers, learning what actually moves the needle on spoken English.

For School Districts & Teacher Placement Agencies

Struggling to fill STEM, ESL, or Special Education vacancies?

You're not alone, these are some of the hardest roles to fill anywhere in the country. English Quest sources, vets, and prepares experienced international teachers who are ready for a US classroom and ready for the visa process, so you're not starting from zero.

Schedule a Discovery Call See How We Vet Teachers

Since 2020

Built during a crisis, built to last

English Quest started in 2020, when the pandemic sent demand for online English tutors through the roof. We supplied ESL teachers to schools and tutoring agencies scrambling to keep up.

When classrooms reopened, we didn't stop. We moved into placing in-person teachers, first in ESL, then expanding into STEM and Special Education as those shortages grew. Since then, we've placed hundreds of experienced, vetted teachers in schools and tutoring centres around the world.

Who's Behind English Quest

Founders with government, classroom, and research credentials

Jamie Martin

Co-Founder

Former Chief of Staff to the UK Education Secretary, a BCG consultant in its global education practice, and a two-time education founder in South Africa and the UK.

Sandeep Mallareddy

Co-Founder

Former Teach For India teacher, senior executive at the world's largest school chain, and adviser to education projects across India, Africa, and the Middle East.

Adam Woodage

Co-Founder

Alongside our founders, we have teams in India, South Africa, and the UK who source, vet, and prepare every teacher in our network.

Our Teacher Network

Nearly 1,000 teachers, ready for the J-1 process

We've built a database of nearly 1,000 certified, experienced teachers who want to teach in US public schools on a J-1 visa. They come primarily from the UK, South Africa, and India, and we're actively growing our pool of teachers who are also fluent in Spanish.

We focus on more experienced teachers, prioritising candidates in the roles hardest to fill nationally: STEM, ESL, and Special Education.

How We Vet Every Teacher

Five checks, before anyone sees a resume

Every teacher in our network goes through the same process before we put them forward for any role.

Step 01

Certification and experience

Every teacher in our database holds the certificates and classroom experience the role requires.

Step 02

Family and visa profile

We assess each teacher's personal and family profile for the details that make J-1 visa success likely, not just possible.

Step 03

Cultural fit

We test for cultural suitability to living and teaching in the US specifically, not just teaching ability in general.

Step 04

Honest expectations

Before anyone is put forward, we make sure they understand both the opportunities and the real challenges of the job.

Step 05

Role-specific re-validation

When a specific opportunity comes up, we re-check that teacher's fit for that geography and school culture, usually after speaking at length with several candidates.

Why Partner With Us

Four reasons districts and agencies come to us first

Speed, without cutting corners

We pride ourselves on how quickly we can respond to a gap in your teacher pool, backed by a network we've already vetted.

Lower risk of a mismatch

We check a teacher's fit again for each specific role, so there are fewer surprises after placement.

Candid relationships, not a transaction

We build deep, direct relationships with both our teachers and our partners, and we're upfront when something isn't a fit.

A sourcing team on three continents

Our teams in India, South Africa, and the UK are actively sourcing and vetting teachers, including a growing pool fluent in Spanish.

Since

2020

Founded during the pandemic, placing teachers ever since.

Track Record

Hundreds of teachers placed

In schools and tutoring centres around the world, with the same rigour we bring to teacher preparation.

Approach

Same process, every placement

No generic placements. We take the same care with a district or agency as we do with a school.

For Districts & Placement Partners

Ready to fill the role properly the first time?

Whether you're a district filling a role directly, or a placement and mobility organisation looking for a sourcing partner, tell us what you need and we'll walk you through how it would work.
